[newbie] Scrollback limits in Konsole
Hi everyone, I've recently installed LM8.1 and found it great, although I'm having a small problem with the scrollback limits in konsole in kde.

I've looked for info on this and haven't found much so far. I've had some success with the file:/etc/X11/Xresources by adjusting the 'XTerm*saveLines:' up to 5000, I can then scrollback ok in xterm.
